562 A HISTORY OF SHORT-HORN CATTLE. 



property of Hugh Watson, in which case she 

 would be entitled to credit in connection with 

 the birth of the Aberdeen-Angus breed as well 

 as furnishing the foundation of the Aberdeen- 

 shire Short-horns. Speaking of this remark 

 able cow the late Amos Cruickshank once 

 said: "I question if ever there was a better 

 breed of Short-horns either in England, Scot- 

 land or anywhere else than the Lady Sarah 

 tribe." 



About 1840 Barclay began another herd with 

 Mahomed at the head. He bought ten females 

 at a sale made by Hon. J. B. Simpson of Bab- 

 worth, in Nottinghamshire, and Wetherell pur- 

 chased some heifers and calves for him from 

 Burrows of Carleton Hall, near Carlisle. It is 

 stated that probably the best cow in this sec- 

 ond herd was Julia, a roan that carried more 

 or less Booth blood and was sired by Paganini 

 (2405). She became the dam of two bulls af- 

 terward extensively used at Ury Pacha (7612) 

 and The Duke (7593). Paganini was full of Col. 

 Cradock's blood. The 2d Duke of Northumber- 

 land (3646) was hired for service from Mr. 

 Bates in 1842, but after serving a year at Ury 

 was transferred to Mr. Grant Duff's herd at 

 Eden r where he remained two years and got 

 one very good bull called Duplicate Duke 

 (6952). The Duchess bull nevertheless did not 

 leave a very good reputation in the North.
